Moving

In a week and a half we are moving to Oklahoma.  I have been having a hard time adjusting to the idea of moving from Texas to Oklahoma.  I have always said the reason Texas hasn't fallen into the gulf is because Oklahoma sucks so bad.  I guess it's only fitting that now I'm moving there.  I'm not going to give up my Texan status, and as a friend suggested, just start calling it "North Dallas."  People like to bring up that our next baby will be an "Okie" ... and that's when I started calculating the distance from the new house to the nearest Texas hospital.
Anyway, all jokes aside, we are excited for this new chapter in our lives.  Jeff loves his company, and so does everyone else in Oklahoma.  They do a LOT for the community are very well known. Of course, the last 9 months living in a very rural, small town has absolutely spoiled us.  Spoiled us badly.   We spent 2 weekends in OKC looking at houses and both of us were already reminiscing about no traffic and no people in our tiny town.  We love, love rural Texas.  Of course, I don't doubt over time we are going to love our new home, too.  I have heard nothing but the best things about Oklahoma City and I'm excited to see what they have to offer.  We will just really miss it here in Texas.  ... and we will really miss our chickens.  Our new house has a whiney HOA and I guess they don't think chickens class up the neighborhood.  Pretty lame. But thankfully, we are just renting for right now so hopefully in the future we can find somewhere outside town and start a little farm ;)  We are moving in about a week and a half and that makes me realize I haven't even started packing. I guess I'm not as worried since more than half of our stuff is in storage.  The company found and rented this house for us and furnished the inside, so all we had to unpack were toys and clothes.  And the toaster.  
For sure, we are going to miss this little Texas town.  I'm going to miss knowing who my neighbors are. I'm going to miss the park and drive to town.  It's been a blessing to live here and we will always remember it.
